I didn't have much luck getting the chrome drip edge molding off a Pacific without some bending but with a bit of care it is possible to minimize the damage. IIRC, it is the upper edge that needs to uncrimp a bit and that is where the bending comes in as you try to straighten the crimp with a tool down in the gutter. In addition to being crimped over the gutter they also have some sealant in spots which makes it so much easier to bend where they are stuck.

There is an article in SC 25#11 on early leaks and here is an excerpt where my take on the removal is even Packard said they would probably be damaged. Believe the same molding was used thru 54.
